A bachelor s degree from an accredited four-year institution. 2. An overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.7 on a 4.0 scale in all undergraduate work. Students who fail to meet this requirement may be considered for provisional admission, provided they demonstrate excellent promise for graduate study. 3. Three recommendations regarding the prospective graduate student's potential for doing master's level work, which, depending upon the student s status at the time, may come from such sources as the undergraduate major adviser, current employer, school principal or others who are knowledgeable about the applicant s ability to engage in graduate work in the desired program. 4. Any additional published criteria established by a program. 5. Some programs have selective admissions and may admit a limited number of students. Thus, meeting all formal criteria does not guarantee admission. Admission Classifications 1. Regular meets all of the admission requirements. 2. Provisional fails to meet all admission requirements, but has demonstrated promise for graduate study. The candidate is required to immediately complete the GRE (quantitative and verbal portions only) and earn a minimum combined score of 800. If the student fails to achieve these GRE results, a 3.5 GPA in the College Core Requirement (four courses) is required for regular admission. The student must achieve regular admission status based on the above criteria as submitted prior to the completion of 15 hours of course work to continue in the program.

3 General Requirements for Master s Programs 1. Master s programs require a minimum of 30 or 36 semester hours (depending on program) of approved graduate course work, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for all graduate course work. Programs also leading to licensure or endorsement may require additional semester hours to fulfill credential as well as degree requirements. 2. All course work for master s programs must be taken within a six-year period immediately preceding the date the degree is awarded. 3. All master s programs require the completion of a thesis, project, seminar or field experience (practicum). Refer to specific program descriptions for additional information. 4. No more than six semester hours of credit from workshops (5950), problems or special topics courses (5980 or 6980) and independent studies (5990 or 6990) may be included in the degree program. A maximum of 10 semester hours of transfer course work may be applied to a master s program. 5. College Core Requirements (12 semester hours).

9 educational specialization with emphasis on practice. Specific areas of study for these degree programs are listed below: Administration and Supervision (36 hours): The Ed.S. in administration and supervision is designed to meet the needs of individuals whose career goals include licensure for advanced administrative positions in public and private schools (e.g., district administrator, building administrator) or the area of organizational leadership.

The degree provides patterns of study for teachers and supervisors who want an education beyond the master s degree as a specialist, but who are not interested in a doctoral degree. Specific areas represented are curriculum and instruction, educational technology, elementary education, early childhood education, secondary education, special education, and career and technical education. For the program and requirements of a specific area, contact a faculty adviser. Admission to Education Specialist Degree Programs General admission requirements to the Ed.S. programs include: 1.

Concentrate in one area of specialization (i.e., a major) and pass a written examination (major examination) that covers the major area of concentration; 2. Depending on program, have no, one or two minor areas of concentration and pass a separate written examination for each minor area of concentration; 3. After passing the written major examination (and any written minor examination, if necessary), pass an oral examination that covers the relevant coursework; 4. Be proficient in tools of research; 5. Have a background in general foundations of education (if required); 6. Have an extended period of concentrated study (i.e., a residency); 7.

The doctoral program committee has a minimum of three members who are selected from the membership of the graduate faculty of the University. Specific composition of the committee is outlined in the Judith Herb College of Education Doctoral Programs Handbook. The doctoral program committee is responsible for assisting the student in the development of a plan of study and assuring competence by overseeing the doctoral major exam, doctoral minor exam(s) and doctoral program orals. After passing doctoral orals, the student must form a dissertation committee to guide the development of the dissertation. Guidelines for this committee are outlined in the Judith Herb College of Education Doctoral Programs Handbook. Plan of Study The doctoral program plan of study, a form listing all courses to be included in the student s program, is available online

12 from the College of Graduate Studies website. The plan must be approved by the doctoral program committee, the department chairperson, and the associate dean for graduate studies and research of the college. The plan must be filed before 18 semester hours of the doctoral program are completed. Residence Requirements For a student seeking a Ph.D., two consecutive semesters of full-time work must be completed at the University. The student must meet the residence requirement under a plan that is submitted in writing to the doctoral program committee for prior approval. A student who is seeking the Ed.D. may meet the above requirement or may complete two consecutive full-time summer semesters of concentrated study across two calendar year summers. The student must meet the residence requirement under a plan that is submitted in writing to the doctoral program committee for prior approval. Examinations A set of examinations must be passed successfully by students who complete doctoral programs. Consult the Judith Herb College of Education Doctoral Programs Handbook for specific information. Dissertation Deadlines Students completing the dissertation must meet the published deadlines for submission to the Judith Herb College of Education and the College of Graduate Studies.
